I'm posting this in the beginners forum because I'm pretty much a beginner with deadlifts.

How sore should my back get from deadlifts? If I'm getting super sore does it mean my form is wrong or is it just part of deadlifting and pushing hard. I'm not out-of-commission sore. But I definately feel it in my back tonight and I expect I'll feel it even more in the next few days.

I am new at DL's as well. I am always sore, but it is more of muscle sore and not bone or joint sore. I did DL's today and I am still a little sore. I will be fine in the morning.

Definately a muscle soreness. But like back pain muscle sore vs. other muscle sore. Stiff and tender vs. the standard DOMS you get. Of course it's probably not DOMS yet...that'll come in another day or so.

When I first started doing my back would kill if your form is in check you should be fine got any vids?

What?! And let you see my chicken legs?!

Ha ha...j/k.

We're technology deficient. No iphone or anything. I don't have any type of video recorder. Maybe I'll see if someone I know who comes to the gym can record me. That would be a good way to verify with you guys.

Just starting with any major compound movement will leave you sore as hell.

Check your form, either by video clip here or a respected source at the gym. And if the form is good....just deal with it. As your DLing experience goes up, the soreness will greatly reduce.

-OTK's LOG-
We lift weights and manipulate our diets so that we'll look good naked. Sure, it's healthy too, and we'll probably live a longer and more productive life than the average guy, but mostly it's about the naked thing.

Are you doing any assistance work (good mornings, hyperextentions, etc.)? These will help strengthen the lower posterior chain.

Also VERY IMPORTANT! You know your body best. It is important to know the difference between soreness and injury. If your the least bit suspicious of injury, I would advise you to at least knock it off for a week or so. Better yet, see somebody.
